output to the controller

I am having trouble outputting my sequence to my controller.  I imported a sequence that I had made with Spectrum.  I created a serial network configuration that matched my controller ID and COM Port.  I then made sure that the tracks were numbered properly and the correct controller ID was selected and the correct network was selected.  When I click on the "Send to Lights" button, the LED on my controller stops blinking.  (It is connected)  But when I push the play button, during the loading the LED starts blinking again, then the music starts, but no lights come on.  Besides just downloading the software and installing it, is there something else that I need to do?  Or did I miss something in the initial setup?

Yeah, all of that is set.  I reset my computer, and now the light stays solid, but nothing gets output to the controller.  I started a brand new sequence, and the same problem

Yeah, the red LED on the controller goes solid, so there is a connection, but no lights.

how do you share the sequence? 

Ok, so my computer may be a little messed up.  Hardware utility recognized that I was plugged into COM PORT 4. So that is what I made my setting, however, I changed USB ports on my computer, and Hardware Utility still recognized it as COM PORT 4.  Different USB, same COM PORT. I dont know......Now it works.  But I ran into another problem.  Everything outputs just fine, except when I want to do a ramp shimmer, or a ramp twinkle.  Regular ramp and regular twinkle work, but as soon as I mess with the Start and End levels, nothing goes on. If I make both the Start and End levels the same....it works just fine.
